A.F.V.s why did they get made U/S

Why did the M.O.D.sell off the Ferret ,Saladin ect
when we Gunners AFV were trained not to use main gun on a ,SOFT SKIN vehicle, just the MG fuel tank under the body .
They had more crew protection than than a landrover , other than a Barrett Rife of course maybe some one can pass it on to Genreal Staff.
even the Zambia Forces use the Sud African
V body Trucks (mine resistant) our Guy 's getting killed because the do not have the kit they need
remember the Hovercraft the troops of the future would use seems they , were just a dream of the 70's

When I die,I wish to go like my grandad,in his sleep.
Not screaming like the passengers on his bus.
Grumps.
